MISSION VIEJO, Calif. – Texas Swimming's David Johnston won the 400-meter IM to highlight the third day of the 2021-2022 TYR Pro Swim Series on Friday at the Marguerite Aquatics Center.
Johnston won the 400m IM with a time of 4:19.54, almost five seconds ahead of runner-up Ilya Kharun (4:24.31), while Tyler Kopp (4:27.03) finished third.
"It was just a good racing experience," Johnston said. "It's my favorite event to swim, and I just really enjoy getting up and racing a 400 IM final and just getting that experience for later on in the season. I'm making good progress and looking forward to tomorrow and to keep training hard."
